WINS does indeed have difficulty adequately covering its primary are in
analog. They probably are going to have a rather rude awakening on the
digital coverage. As is often the case, the sidebands will probably
cause DX'ers problems farther away than the digital signal will decode.
Even absent nighttime IBOC, CFRB will chew them up at pre-sunset and
post-sunrise in many of the suburbs even more than they do today.
